<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>I respect the approach to be honest, they went big game hunting on Panarin and Panarin alone, he was the only guy they felt was worthy to go 7 years, 8m+ on. They didn't get him so they shifted focus to build depth. Lots of Avs fan were why didnt we give over 7m to get Lee, or 6m to get Nyquist etc. That was not their targets and clearly didnt feel like they had to panic and sign a big contract just bc they didnt hit Panarin.

I think Avs are a much deeper team today and thats what they needed. They already have the elite talent</div></div>

Exactly. Panarin was the big splash they were looking to make and the Donskoi/Kadri plan was a contingency to not overreact should that fall out. This team has a few good breakout candidates and looks way more balanced. I view Bura and Donskoi kind of similar in they could produce top 6 points given the right opportunity. It isn't the splashiest or sexiest team update, but it solves our need for depth and legitimate 2nd line skill.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>I am satisfied with the outcome of today. I think the Avs solved a lot of issues and were able to take a bit of a gamble moving on from Barrie even with Cole and EJ on the mend.
I think its a very solid 4 lines now, lines 2 and 3 will be very hard to play against and the 2nd line will be fun to see it come together. Kadri is a legit 2C who can hold his own and drive play. Thats what Avs need as much as I believe in Jost, its nice to have that cost controlled safety net there</div></div>

Well said. The key here is "cost controlled." Sakic could have backed up the money truck to add to our top 6, instead he dealt a player who was gone after this season for a well rounded 2C who is signed on a team friendly deal for 3 more seasons.
